Running Applications

Introduction

CLion makes use of the settings defined in a Run/Debug Configuration. All the run configurations that exist in a project, are available in the Select Run/Debug Configuration drop-down list.

If you want to see a list of all currently running applications, select Run | Show Running List from the main menu. Refer to the section Viewing Running Processes for details.

Note that after you've started a run session, the icon that marks the Run tool window and in the Run/Debug Configuration Selector toggles to to indicate that the run process is active.

If the options that launch tools before running were enabled in a Run/Debug configuration, CLion runs the tools, and after success will run the application. Otherwise, the program will start immediately.
